Vito

Nice comp and a pretty background... and wide, not close!

Darn Vito, I knew I should have blurred that eye more, stupid FZ10/Leitz is too sharp M8t.

Early on when I got into nature photography, I was fascinated by telephoto shots of birds and big mammals, especially facial portraits (and I still like them). But I had a large lens on my camera almost all the time. I thought of myself as "going wide" when I put on my 100-400 zoom and backed it up to 100mm (with the 1.6 crop of my D60 of course). So I know what you mean.

But trust me, it's better trying other things as well. I found out! And you'll get another white whale to chase after harpooning two in short order (Is it politically correct to refer to harpooning whales here? )

This is so beautiful!!! I love the background.

Condsidering what you have been posting lately Danny, this shot is about 12 miles away from where you normally get from the insect!!!
Funny how you just posted this, your thoughts behind it, and what I just posted minutes ago. (Great minds think alike I guess!)
I too, love shots like this and showing their world that they live in and/or how they see it.
If only they could speak to us, or we to them.

Again, love this shot!
The background is killer, and I like how the blade of grass or leaf leads in and in a way, pointing out the main subject with its very nice details and giving it a place to standout on.

Hope you continue with images like this Danny.
It's a bit different for you, but knowing you over the years, the best is yet to come! (That's exciting!)

Keep crankin them out M8t!

Nice to back off now and then ad see the fly's world too, huh? I like this with the colors and tones especially the pink balanced at opposite corners.

I love the composition of this and the colors. Very much un-Danny but still very much great!!!!

Wide angle macro !!!! What a thought

.... you deserve tickets for the new Cock & Bull Pub opening in about a week :roll: would be a good source of inspiration

I couldn't believe that it was a post from Danny...no in your face eye facets
This is terrific. Superb work M8t.
Thanks,

Danny-

Another nice one!!! If you ever get to the states, and you get that depth of field thing perfected, I'd like a bug with half dome in the background! :roll:

Keep it up.This works very well and the splashes of color are a plus
